In order to properly utilize organic amendments as nitrogen sources, reliable methods
to estimate plant-available nitrogen (PAN) are needed. The objectives of this study
were to (1) evaluate the use of crop and soil responses in fertilizer N equivalence
(FNE) calculations, (2) examine the relationships between the C/N ratio, total...
Preliminary studies with a dog (Canis familiaris) and a coyote
(Canis latrans) showed that these carnivores can serve as definitive
hosts in the life cycle of Sarcocystis fusiformis of cattle (Bos
taurus) and a microscopic Sarcocystis of mule deer (Odocoileus
hemionus hemionus). Preliminary studies to determine effects of the
cervine...
Many sediments, including the fine-grained pelagic deposits,
possess polymodal grain size distributions. Resolution of individual
modes show them to be related either to compositional fractions or to
depositional processes or both, and sometimes permits the tracing
of dispersal patterns. The Cahn sedimentation balance provides a
means of obtaining continuous cumulative...
